Troubleshooting HP Networks On-Site Training

Troubleshooting HP Networks

Course Description/Agenda

This course helps you improve your HP A-Series and E-Series switch troubleshooting skills by focusing on troubleshooting methodologies and practices in medium to enterprise sized networks. Built around the IETF five-layer model, it includes labs covering topics such as troubleshooting VLANs, OSPF routing, Spanning Tree, and other Layer 3 issues. You will learn how to isolate network problems and find solutions for these problems by methodically analyzing the network problems.

Certification:

• HP ASE - Network Infrastructure [2011]
• HP ASE - Network Infrastructure [2011] - upgrade from ASE - HP ProCurve Campus LANs [2010]/Cisco/H3C
• HP ASE - Network Infrastructure [2011] - upgrade from previous versions

What You'll Learn

• Troubleshooting methodologies and practices
• Detailed troubleshooting and problem resolution based on the IETF five-layer module covering:
  • Layer 1 (physical layer)
  • Layer 2 (data link layer)
  • Layer 3 (network layer)
  • Layer 4 (transport layer)
  • Layer 5 (application layer)
• Troubleshooting an end-to-end complex, integrated, multiprotocol network deployment
